I just got CS5 master suite which includes Flash Builder 4 and Flash CS5

  • 0

I just got CS5 master suite which includes Flash Builder 4 and Flash CS5 Pro.

When I create a new AIR app in CS5 pro it says “AIR 2” but when I create a new AIR project in Flash Builder I do not see anything indicating that it is AIR 2 or 1.5?

Is there a way to tell which AIR runtime it is using?

    I think you’ll have to download the SDK and st it up yourself; but Flash Builder should work fine:

    How to overlay the Adobe AIR SDK for use with the Flex SDK

    1. Copy the contents an existing Flex SDK folder to a new folder. For
      example, in Flex Builder, copy the
      following folder located at:
      * Windows: c:\Program Files\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0
      * Mac OS: /Applications/Adobe Flex Builder
      3/sdks/3.2.0
    2. Download the appropriate AIR SDK file for your operating system and
      save it to the root folder of the Flex
      SDK.
      * Windows: AIR20_win_sdk_XXXXXX.zip
      * Mac OS: AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2

    3. Extract the contents of the AIR SDK archive and overwrite the existing
      SDK files in the copied folder.
      * Windows: Right-click on the ZIP file and select “Extract All”
      or use the decompression tool of your
      choice.
      * Mac OS: In Terminal, cd to the root folder of the Flex SDK and
      run this command:
      * tar jxvf AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2 

        If you have trouble overwriting files due to file

      permissions, try this command
      sudo tar jxvf AIR20_mac_sdk_XXXXXX.tbz2

    4. In Flex or Flash Builder, open the Properties dialog and choose the
      Flex Compiler page

    5. Click the Configure Flex SDKs… link
    6. Add the combined Flex and AIR 2 SDK folder created above
    7. Use this SDK for any projects accessing AIR 2 APIs.

    To update this for the production release; go downlod your preferred version of the Flex SDK at http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/Downloads and download the AIR 2 SDK at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=airsdk .

    Overlay the two using the instructions above (1-3); then configure the new SDK in Flash Builder (also using the instructions above (4-7).

    Update: Since my original post of this; Flex 4.1 SDK was released which includes the relevant AIR 2 bits. You can get it here
